Kamis Awang, . and Mohd Amran Mohd Ghazali, . Initial performance of Gmelina arborea Roxb. and Acacia mangium Willd. under plantation conditions. pp. 255-262. ISSN 0302-2935
Abstract
Initial performance of Gmelina arborea and Acacia mangium stands established on Rengam and Bungor soils in Peninsular Malaysia was evaluated in relation to upper and lower slopes. Both species generally had lower percentage of abnormal trees higher percentage of trees with good crown and stem quality and higher MAI(mean annual increament of diameter and height on the lower slopes. G. arborea tended to have less abnormal trees and higher growth rate on Rengam than on Bungor soils. A. mangium showed little variation in its performance on the two soils. The abnormal trees of both species had lower height but higher diameter growth than normal trees. In general A. mangium was found to grow faster than G. arborea on both slopes and soils.
